Groucho Marx knew the secret word was enjoyment.
Arthur Marx
From the Print Edition:
Groucho Marx, Spring 93
I'm probably the only man alive who can say he was weaned on Groucho Marx's cigar smoke.
Because my father was Groucho, I learned to appreciate the aroma of a good Havana cigar when I was still in a crib. I got my first whiff of cigar smoke when Groucho leaned over the crib railing one evening to kiss me good night. Between his thumb and forefinger was a long, smoldering stogie from which was wafting a large, bluish-white cloud of smoke. Seeing this, my mother bawled out father for not being more considerate of his only son. She felt the smoke would hurt my tender lungs. But of course it didn't. Like Bill Clinton, I did not inhale.
When I was seven, and old enough to sit at the dinner table with my parents, Groucho would turn to me when he was on his dessert and coffee course and say, "Trot upstairs to my humidor, Big Feet (he always called me Big Feet because he claimed my footsteps on the stairs outside his bedroom woke him up early in the morning), and bring me a Dunhill 410." In a large humidor in his upstairs study he kept a trove of the most expensive cigars money could buy--mostly Dunhills. There were light cigars for after lunch, and heavier, more pungent ones for after dinner. The latter were his favorites--especially the 410s. He also kept on hand a box of extra-sized cigars called Belindas. These, I believe, were the kind Winston Churchill smoked. They were long and fat and looked like a miniature Scud missile. These he kept for special occasions, to be given to important guests--cigar aficionados who'd appreciate them--or when he wanted to show off.
Even though I had no desire to start smoking when I was still in grammar school, the rich, fragrant aroma of a Havana cigar always whetted my olfactory senses as I opened the humidor, selected a 410 and carried it downstairs to my father at the dinner table. And I would watch with childish fascination as father clipped off the tip of the cigar with his mother-of-pearl cigar cutter, and then stuck it in his mouth and torched the large end of it with his silver cigarette lighter. As he took a deep, satisfying drag of his 410, and then exhaled a large cloud of smoke in my direction, it didn't seem possible to me that anyone could get so much enjoyment out of putting just smoke in his mouth and then blowing it out. At that age, I would have much preferred a chocolate cigar. But for Groucho, no dinner was complete without his 410, nor a day without at least two of them.
Of course, it hadn't always been that way with him, because he hadn't always been able to lead such a well-ordered existence.
Born in 1890 on the East Side of Manhattan, Julius Marx was the fourth of five sons born to my grandparents, Samuel and Minnie Marx. From the beginning (partially because his father was awkward as a tailor--nicknamed "misfit Sam"--and partially because Minnie had a paternally inherited love for show business) the Marx family lived off the inconsistent profits of the vaudeville stage.
Money was never plentiful. Even when Groucho and his brothers were in small-time vaudeville prior to The First World War, he was lucky to be able to afford an after-dinner cigar at all, much less an expensive Dunhill. As a matter of fact, with the tendency of many theater owners to run off with the weekly take without paying the actors, he was lucky sometimes to have the money to buy a dinner at a cheap Greek restaurant.
When he became a success in vaudeville and on Broadway's legitimate stage, he didn't have the time after dinner to enjoy a leisurely smoke. In order to make the curtain he usually had to gulp down his meal and rush right over to the theater and start putting on his makeup. When he first made it in big-time vaudeville, he wore an
ersatz mustache that had to be glued on under his nose very carefully before every performance. This took time. Once, however, Groucho lingered over his dinner coffee in the restaurant across the street from the theater too long. As a result he was too late getting to the theater to glue on the phony mustache. Instead, he grabbed a stick of black greasepaint from the dressing table and painted on a black mustache under his nose and heavy eyebrows over his eyes, then dashed out on the stage doing his inimitable crouched walk in a sketch called, "Fun in Hi Skule."
"To my amazement I found it didn't hurt my audience acceptance one bit," Groucho told me. "If anything the laughs were even bigger."

Man Booker Longlist Part Two: Parrot and Olivier in America by Peter Carey
This is the second installment of the Man Booker longlist book selections.
The first was Room by Emma Donoghue.
Today's selection
Parrot and Olivier In America by Peter Carey
First lines
I had no doubt that something cruel and catastrophic had happened before I was born, yet the comte and comtesse, my parents, would not tell me what it was. As a result my organ of curiosity was made irritable and I grew into the most restless and unhealthy creature imaginable -- slight, pale, always climbing, prying into every drain and attic of the Chateau de Barfleur.
Publisher Summary Olivier—an improvisation on the life of Alexis de Tocqueville—is the traumatized child of aristocratic survivors of the French Revolution. Parrot is the motherless son of an itinerant English printer. They are born on different sides of history, but their lives will be connected by an enigmatic one-armed marquis.
When Olivier sets sail for the nascent United States—ostensibly to make a study of the penal system, but more precisely to save his neck from one more revolution—Parrot will be there, too: as spy for the marquis, and as protector, foe, and foil for Olivier.
As the narrative shifts between the perspectives of Parrot and Olivier, between their picaresque adventures apart and together—in love and politics, prisons and finance, homelands and brave new lands—a most unlikely friendship begins to take hold.
And with their story, Peter Carey explores the experiment of American democracy with dazzling inventiveness and with all the richness and surprise of characterization, imagery, and language that we have come to expect from this superlative writer.
Written with Carey's unmistakable narrative brilliance, Parrot and Olivier is a historical novel in the best sense of the term, in that it inhabits a historical era with utter accuracy and authenticity but in doing so holds a mirror up to our time as well.
"Another feat of acrobatic ventriloquism, joining Carey's masterpieces, Jack Maggs and True History of the Kelly Gang . . . Carey's most marvelous invention is Tocqueville's traveling companion, Parrot . . . It's a brilliant alteration of history and a source of rich comedy . . . Outrageous and witty."
—Ron Charles, Washington Post
"Carey braids his story carefully, lovingly. It has all his telltale favorite elements—lawlessness, revolution, hope for the future, men driven by passion. At its heart, Parrot and Olivier is a western; the simplest story in history, sculpted down to a twinkle in a philosopher's eye: Man's search for freedom."—Los Angeles Times
Reading group alert -- history, humor, great characters, friendship, romance, adventure, intrigue. This book has it all for discussible conversation.

Disaster Recovery Key to Higher Ed at 2014 ACCS Conference
We exhibited at the 2014 ACCS Annual Conference (Association of Collegiate Computing Services of Virginia) in Charlottesville last week and it was one of our favorite shows to date. The ACCS volunteers did a tremendous job. They really take pride in the conference, make the vendors feel appreciated, and fed everybody well! Everyone we met was really great – friendly, enthusiastic and well informed. We learned a lot from everyone – from the keynotes to the attendees. It really will help us serve the higher education market even better.
What were people buzzing about (besides the Cisco Casino Night)? Frankly, we kept hearing about the keynotes. We were impressed with who was booked for the event.
-Author of The Crowdfunding Bible, Scott Steinberg, who is a well known business strategist
-Melina Davis-Martin, co-founder of PlanG Holdings who developed a cause marketing platform and has an impressive background in health & human services.
For AISN, we found the biggest topic we were hearing at our booth was in regard to disaster recovery and FERPA compliance. As a hosting company that has implemented the NIST security control framework, this didn't come as a surprise to us. It makes good sense why disaster recovery is very important to higher education. Colleges and universities are often large institutions with many different stakeholders (students, teachers, staff, the community), can be on multiple campuses and are large consumers of technology. Data can be student data, financial data, research data, alumni data, grant data – the list goes on and on. So, it's no big surprise to us to see the interest in protecting this data in the event of a disaster.Our takeaways from the show – we definitely want to do this show again next year and will be looking for other ways to engage with the higher education market. And we are thinking it might be time to do a webinar on disaster recovery specifically aimed at the needs of higher education, so stay tuned for this. Have thoughts on this? We would love to hear from you in the comments below.
What Are the New PCI 3.0 Requirements?
By Sarah Morris, KirkpatrickPrice
Are you aware of the changes to PCI DSS v3.0? The Payment Card Industry (PCI) Council has developed new changes to the PCI DSS requirements by asking one question: What will improve payment security?
While the core 12 security areas will remain the same, several new sub-requirements have been implemented for increased clarification and understanding.
What are the biggest changes being made to PCI DSS 3.0?
- Penetration Testing Requirements – The new penetration testing requirements include an implemented penetration test to verify that the controls used to segment the environment are operational and effective.
- Service Provider Responsibilities – By emphasizing that security is a shared responsibility, the council has further defined the responsibilities of service providers such as providing written vendor acknowledgement for each DSS requirement for which they are responsible.
- Password Requirements – Enhanced awareness to ensure password security is due to the fact that unchanged default passwords are a common cause of data compromises. Password security is one of the first building blocks in securing your environment.
You can download the full list of new requirements here (PCI-DSS-3.0 requirements). Let me know if you would like to learn more about these
new changes and how they affect you.
Cloud Vs. Virtual Private Servers (VPS)
We often get the question of what is the difference between Virtual Private Servers (VPS) and cloud servers. Both use a virtualized (as opposed to physical) environment and so they are often confused.
First it's important you understand virtualization. Virtualization is the creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something. For our purposes here, virtualization refers to technologies designed to provide a level of abstraction between hardware and software so that we get a logical view of computing resources (as opposed opt physical). This allows us to "trick" the operating system into thinking a group servers is a pool of computing resources giving you your own economies of scale.
With virtualization, to start, a host is needed. A host (or host virtual machine) is where all the host virtual machines reside – the underlying hardware or server component that provides computing resources. A collection of hosts can create a cloud of shared resources. Here are some of the most common ways virtualization is configured:
- Cloud servers: Virtual machines that ride atop a cloud (a collection of hosts). You can see your VMs, but you have no control over the host.
- VPS: The virtualization allows you to partition a single physical computer into multiple servers so that each can run like its own dedicated machine. So on a VPS, each virtual machine has its own operating system, can run and respond independently, and even be rebooted independently. You have full access to the host AND the VMs that ride on it. This is the ultimate in control, but does very little for resource expansion unless other VPS's are added.
- Private Cloud: There are 2 types of Private Cloud – Virtual and Dedicated.
A Dedicated Private Cloud provides you with a physically isolated infrastructure. You have your own private cloud instance and the most control over your resourses. The downside is that hardware must be added to expand resources.
A Virtual Private Cloud provides you a logically isolated infrastructure, with fully private networking and resource pools. You can easily add resources.
Where we find new customers will often come to us asking for VPS is in order to increase security. These customers most often want to maintain total control of their own environment and do not want to share computing resources with people outside their companies in the a public environment like a public cloud. This is where having your own private cloud can be the perfect answer. Private Cloud gives you many of the benefits of the VPS but add in redundancy, fail over, quick provisioning and deployment. The process to get a new VM up and running in the Cloud typically takes only a few clicks where VPS requires a manual upgrade to your service. So, if you are thinking VPS, you may want to consider private cloud – for convenience, flexibility, cost and security.
AISN Sponsoring the VACo Conference This Weekend

Well, it's off to Bath County to sponsor the 2013 Annual Conference of the Virginia Association of Counties (VACo), which is beginning on Sunday at the Omni Homestead Resort.
As you may already know, AISN hosts the commonwealth portal, Virginia.gov, and provides hosting services for numerous state agencies and localities, under its contract with the Commonwealth of Virginia (VA-120416-AISN). As a conference exhibitor, AISN will showcase its high security/ high compliance cloud hosting with a focus on how it can help Virginia's counties back up their mission-critical data and apps and protect their information technology infrastructure from natural disasters such as hurricanes, blizzards, ice storms and earthquakes as well as human error.
We're pretty excited to present our high performance hosting and disaster recovery capabilities at this year's VACo annual conference. AISN has long admired VACo's commitment to advocacy on behalf of Virginia's counties, and we are very proud to do our part too by offering counties state-of-the-art IT services that they can actually afford during these cost-conscious times. We will show them how they can use our contract with the Commonwealth of Virginia to safeguard their IT infrastructure in a way that will also reduce expenses and improve operational efficiencies.
AISN is Virginia-based and SWaM-certified. We are a leading supplier of IT disaster recovery and private cloud hosting solutions for those organizations with the most demanding security and compliance requirements. Our state contract empowers AISN to serve agencies, counties, municipalities and all other public entities throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia.

An offshoot of the City Provisions catering company of the same name just down the street, City Provisions is the brainchild of head chef Cleetus Friedman, a Baltimore transplant who's been working in restaurants since before he could legally hold a job. His interest in healthy, wholesome food provided by local farmers led him to create City Provisions, the catering arm of his operation that operates as almost more a philosophy than a business.
City Provisions employees consider themselves less mere waiters than conversationalists who are genuinely interested in facilitating what you, the customer, need. After a visit to the deli, you just might find yourself needing some of their seasonal sandwiches, such as the lamb, pork or duck, or any of the soups, dessert offerings or sustainable coffees.
Most items in the deli are less than $10, and the location is suited to takeout. Stop here before taking the Metra up to Ravinia for a specially prepared Ravinia picnic basket.
Average cost: $10-$20

Gregory P. Evans
Greg Evans is the President of Indium Corporation.
He joined the company in 1981 as an applications engineer and has served numerous roles throughout his career. Greg's initial responsibilities were with technical customer service, and product & process development. He quickly earned the role of Product Manager at the company's Electronics Chemicals Division where he oversaw the development and global marketing of a successful line of surface mount technology electronics assembly materials. He was rewarded for this success with an appointment to Director of the division.
After continued successes, Greg was promoted, in 1989, to Vice President of Corporate Manufacturing and Sales. In this role he was responsible for global corporate quality, materials, manufacturing, product development, engineering, and sales. This led to his rising to the position of Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer in 1992 where he assumed increased responsibility for marketing, resource development, and finance.
In 1996 Greg was appointed to his current role as President of Indium Corporation. In this role he oversees the company's global activities, including ~700 employees, 11 manufacturing facilities, and numerous field offices.
Greg is a constant driver for expansion into new industries. Under his leadership, the Indium Corporation penetrated several new markets such as thermal interface materials, semiconductor packaging, and photovoltaic solar. This helped the company ride the crest of emerging markets, as well as to weather economic fluctuations of the more volatile consumer electronics market. Indium Corporation's ventures into these new industries have spawned numerous new products, many of which have been recognized with awards for technological vision and innovation, including the Mohawk Valley Chamber of Commerce Business of the Year Award and the Frost & Sullivan Award, which was presented to the company four separate times for product excellence and technological progress. Numerous accolades and awards were also garnered from customers and industry associations.
Greg's management style has made the Indium Corporation a workplace of choice for many, worldwide. Several years ago he introduced The Indium Way, which captured Indium's culture of respect, appreciation, and achievement. This culture has created an environment in which employees are valued members of the team, regardless of their job title, position, or rank in the organization. Greg lives The Indium Way every day, and his influence is felt throughout the entire organization.
Greg's influence is apparent in many other ways – from introducing lean manufacturing to his promotion of professional certifications and training programs. He participates in employee charities and special events, and goes out of his way to stay connected with coworkers at every level of the organization. As stated by one of his managers, "Greg encourages us to remember that people make our organization successful, and reminds us to know those people, to care for those people, and to help each other succeed, personally and professionally."
Greg is a founding member of the SMTA (Surface Mount Technology Association), an international organization for engineers and individuals affiliated with electronics assembly. He was recognized in 2005 by the SMTA for his 20 years of leadership and support of that organization. He is also an active member of the World Presidents Organization (WPO), Empire Chapter.
Greg has served on various civic organizations including: Utica Zoological Society and the Board of Directors for the Clinton School Foundation. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees for St. Elizabeth Medical Center and is a seven-year rider with the Ride for Missing Children. In 2009, he was presented with the Follow the Leaders award by Leadership Mohawk Valley.
Greg has an A.S. degree in Engineering Science from Mohawk Valley Community College, a B.Sc. (cum laude) in Chemical Engineering from Clarkson College of Technology, and an MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He enjoys fly fishing, running, soccer, skiing, golfing, camping, hiking, and family activities with his wife, Denyse, and his children, Nicole and Christopher.

Whether competing with factory teams at the highest level, or with club drivers on their local circuits, Pirelli can be found at all types of racing venues around the world.In recent years Pirelli has become best known for its activities in sports and gt categories where, in addition to winning many different championships, there has been a very direct technology transfer between P ZERO racing tyres and P Zero road tyres.
Pirelli has been exclusive tyre supplier to the GP2 Series since 2011, the collaboration between Pirelli and the GP2 Series continues also in the next few season as Pirelli has been confirmed as the exclusive tyre supplier to the Series.
Launched in 2005, the GP2 Series is a one-make single-seater championship which has become the acknowledged stepping stone to Formula One, aiming to prepare young drivers who aspire to climb their way up to the highest level of motorsport.
Pirelli supplies the GP2 Series with two different types of tyre designed for different types of use: a slick tyre designed for dry surfaces, while the second is for wet surfaces. The sizes are 245/660–13 at the front and 325/660-13 at the rear.
Each car will have five sets of slick tyres and three sets of wet tyres available per race weekend. Three sets of dry tyres will be available in the harder compound and two sets in the softer compound, while the wet tyres will be available in one compound only. The same colour-marking used in Formula Ione will be applied in GP2.
The 2014 season will again see twenty-six drivers competing at the wheel of identical Pirelli-fitted Dallara cars, powered by a V8 Renault engine. A race week-end is made of one 45-minue practice session and one 30-minute qualifying session, followed by two races.
The 2014 calendar is made up of 11 rounds, eight of which will be in Europe and three overseas.

Pirelli has been confirmed as the exclusive tyre supplier to the GP3 Series - a one-make single-seater championship launched in 2010 as a feeder series for the GP2 Series – for the next seasons.
Designed to nurture young driving talent for GP2, the GP3 Series follows the same principles: identical car with single chassis, engine and tyre provider. Technical regulations are strict and tightly controlled to ensure a level playing field. Racing with identical cars and set-ups, it is the driver's ability and the engineering prowess of the competing teams that make the difference.
Pirelli is introducing brand new front tyres, that will now be in size 250/575-13 while the rear size will remain 290/590-13.
Pirelli supplies the GP3 Series with three types of P Zero slick tyre (hard, medium and soft) – one type of which is nominated for each race weekend – and one pattern of wet weather tyre. Each car has three sets of dry tyres and two sets of wets per weekend, if needed, at its disposal.
The 2014 GP3 calendar is made up of nine rounds taking place over the same race weekends of the Formula One Grand Prix, again starting with the Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona in May and finishing with the Grand Prix at Abu Dhabi in November..

Interesting Facts about Colleen Pereira
Meaning of Last Name
Pereira (disambiguation) Pereira is a common surname in the Portuguese and Galician languages, namely in Portugal, Brazil, and Galicia. It was originally a noble Christian toponym of the Middle Ages, taken from the feudal possession of Pereira (Barcelos), which in Portuguese means 'pear tree'. The name also exists in variations such as Pereyra, Perera, Perreira, Pereiro and others. In Portugal there are some families with variations of the name although Pereira is by far the most common. The variants of this name are more commonly found in other countries such as Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, India (specifically Goa), and Sri Lanka. Pereire, for example, is a French variant. Many Portuguese immigrants to the United States, especially Massachusetts, chose to "Americanize" their surname to Perry.

Below, some office-party pitfalls you should definitely sidestep . . . lest morning-after regret is on your wish list this year. Don't . . . 1. Enforce the mistletoe rule: Make out with your boss, intern, or the significant other of either.2. Interpret "dress festive" to include anything that could be worn as lingerie.3. Split a bottle of anything with your assistant.4. Wear reindeer ears and antlers.5. Shovel shrimp from the buffet table onto your plate like it's your last meal.6. Use a lull in conversation to force your table to watch you try to tie a cherry stem into a knot. This should especially be avoided if it takes you 25 minutes to do it. 7. Dance on anything other than the floor. 8. Use the open bar as an opportunity to get your boss - or yourself - plastered and ask for a promotion.9. Sit on Santa's (a.k.a. Eduardo from IT) lap. 10. Wear a holiday sweater. 11. Spend all night schmoozing with the interns.12. Drink too much and share how you really feel about everyone in your department. 13. Wear a mistletoe headband.14. Talk about work the whole time. It's not the time or place for a heated discussion about network security.15. Hit on a coworker's spouse.16. Hit on a coworker's very mature-looking teenage son.17. Stand next to Ellen from Accounting, who gets amorous when she drinks.18. Anything in the presence of a camera that you wouldn't want photographic evidence of in the company newsletter.19. Raid the open bar like it's an ex's wedding reception.20. Invite the boss to the after-party.

The Dean's List: Perfect no longer
Story Highlights
Perfect Ball State dropped the ball (literally) in the conference title game
Maria Sharapova and Wisconsin's athletic director have the same stalker
Southern University can teach us a thing or two about French horn players
Welcome to this week's Dean's List, coming at you live from New York City, where it's so cold my love handles are chafing.
Honor Roll
Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez does not look like Maria Sharapova. In fact, Alvarez bears more of a resemblance to Uncle Fester than the alluring Russian tennis sensation. But the two are now forever linked, thanks to Leonard Taylor Jr., a former Wisconsin defensive back who was recently arrested for stalking and harassing Alvarez and Sharapova. Taylor, who played football for Alvarez at Wisconsin from 1995-1998 and is a diagnosed schizophrenic, left at least 29 phone voicemails threatening to not only kill Alvarez, but also Sharapova. Here's one of Taylor's messages for his old coach: "I hate that (expletive) Maria Sharapova. ... I just want to look at you one (expletive) last time before I pull the (expletive) trigger, Barry." Scary stuff. I wonder if Alvarez reached out to comfort Sharapova. I would have.
OK, Cornell didn't beat its upstate rival Syracuse last Wednesday, but at least the Big Red kept the game close, which should be considered a victory when the Ivy League plays the Big East. For the 31st straight time, Syracuse beat Cornell, 88-78, despite a 31-point performance from Big Red guard Ryan Wittman. But don't let the 10-point loss fool you. The Big Red were up by 16 in the first half and were actually leading by five at the break. Very impressive for a team that hasn't beaten Syracuse since 1968. Of course, Cornell does maintain at least one bragging right over the Orange. Last season, the Big Red went to the NCAA Tournament while Syracuse performed NIT duty.
All heroes deserve a white horse and a princess. Someday, I will buy Stephen Field that horse and let him take my sister, who is not technically a princess, but acts like one, to Applebee's for dinner. Field, a University of Miami assistant football coach, was driving back from a recruiting trip at Dolphin Stadium on Saturday afternoon when he saw an overturned car on Interstate 95. Most people, myself included, would've seen the crowd gathered around the flipped car, which was billowing smoke, and kept on driving, believing that one more do-gooder couldn't really help. Not Field, who pulled over and scrambled down a ditch to the smoking car. Inside, he found the driver trapped and disoriented. Ignoring the smoke and the smell of gas, Field used a hammer to smash the car's front window. He extracted the injured driver and carried the man 20 feet to safety. Last question: Do all heroes drive around with hammers in their cars?
So much for "first time's a charm." In an action-packed weekend of college soccer, previous champions won the title in all three divisions. The North Carolina women's soccer team rallied to beat previously-undefeated Notre Dame, 2-1, and win its 19th NCAA title. In Division II, the Cal State Dominguez Hills men's soccer team shut out Dowling University 3-0 to win its 2nd NCAA title. And Messiah College won both the women's and men's Division III soccer championships. The Falcons have now won six men's and two women's soccer titles. Jim Rome must be excited. He loves soccer.

Online Survey about Teacher Accountability
Hi everyone! My name is Lisa and I am a teacher in New York City. I am currently in the process of writing my thesis on how teachers feel about being held accountable for student grades. I did some research and I found this online community and based on the feedback and support I have seen, I decided to join. I would really like to hear everyone's opinion on this subject. The survey I have created takes about 10 minutes to complete and it is completely anonymous. Your participation will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Mine doesn't have the black shadowing.
Scott said the ten copies of Netossa that he opened didn't feature the black stain on the net/cape that we have seen in the reviews. So, after looking at your Netossa, does she have the black stain?
Mine doesn't have the black shadowing.

*Play-Sets ~ Snake Mountain/Fright Zone *Vehicles ~ Roton/Land Shark *Beasts ~ Night Stalker/Stridor
Yes, she does have the spot. However, mine is very faint. At first I didnt think she had it until I put a piece of paper behind it.
Turn Mermaid Speculation Into Mermaid Support
Where's the fish!!??
Mine does not have it.
I have two figures and neither of mine have it.

Mine has a smaller spot, but it kind of rubs off if you were to rub hard on it....
I haven't tried, but if it rubs off like that, alcohol should make short work of it.
Recent....Unnamed One & Hydron
Wanted....Entrapa, Double Trouble, Light Hope, Filmation Hordak & Clawful
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
I really hope mines don't have it, as they surely come by the end of this month...fingers crossed!
I have 4 figures and none of mine have it.
It's all about being polished when it counts!
Mine has it, not really sure what its supposed to be though
Very slight on mine.

Although there is shading there, I voted no because it is not noticeable as a spot and is hard to make out the color difference. When I looked at it I actually thought, "now I understand how Toyguru could have said he opened 10 figures and none of them had a black spot on the net."
Yes, mine has the black spot/ shadowing on it.

"We have a Ram-Man"
Mine does not have it either.
Mine kind of does but I don't plan on removing the cape so I'm not really bothered.
yes but its directly under her hair and you dont see it at all when shes wearing it. and since i dont care about her at all (i bought it and would have as a collector) spot doesnt bother me.
mostly since its hidden im good. had it been on one corner of her cape yeah id be mad
Yes, a very dark and very visible one at that (her hair doesn't cover the eyesore).

Mine has a dark spot. I'd call it dark blue rather than black. I'll check to see if it can come off...

Mine has the dreaded black spot, if I feel froggy I'll remove it. But it doesn't bug me that much.
Got one MIB that doesn't seem to have it. I've got another coming loose, so hopefully I'm 2 for 2!
I just got my loose Netossa in the mail, and she does, indeed, have the infamous spot.
So, 50% of my Netossa collection has the spot; however, 100% of me doesn't really care all that much. I honestly wouldn't call it disfiguring...
Last edited by Collec-Tor; February 5, 2013 at 05:12am. Reason: updated post
I voted yes, because it does, but it is very faint and basically if I hadn't known about it i probably wouldn't have noticed
If there's something strange in the neighbourhood, who you gonna' call? HE-MAN!!!!
Yes, but it is barely noticeable.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Way to Go Club Etheria!
it's not paint.
it's the cape degrading because of her hair interacting with the rubber

Stumbling out of a club, Matthew is overcome by three thugs-Mike Branson, Brian Cruise, and Sebastian Cruz-determined to teach him a lesson. The brutal trio takes turns stuffing their thick cocks into Matthew's mouth, then decides to spirit him away to a remote location. Stuffing Matthew into the trunk of their car, they speed off. Parked on an isolated hill, the horny hoodlums vie for the opportunity of being the first to exploit the dazed blond stud. Brian Cruise wins, forcing his thick hard cock down Matthew's throat. Brian pulls his captive from the trunk and fucks him hard and fast. Sebastian and Mike can hardly wait for their turn. Sebastian takes over, pumping Matthew forcefully. Mike takes his turn, feverishly pounding Matthew's ass. The trio taunts Matthew as they ravage his ass, then all three shoot their loads across the small of his back.

Look Better

Know Better
Fall's around the corner. Instead of sitting around considering which variant of duck testicles to order at your local charcuterie, focus that energy on key pieces you need for your autumn wardrobe. You take this seriously, after all. Grenson boots. Dries Van Noten suits. Timeless additions to a man's closet because, as they say, "paying attention to what one's wearing is a sign of respect for everyone else around you." Amen to that.
